Security? Are they going to remain as a kind of skeleton "ultra-peacekeeping force"?
Political? Will they be the political puppetmasters in Iraq for the next 100 years?
Advisory? Will the Americans be like the Geek Squad, ie., in an onsite support & guidance capacity?
Nation Building? Are the Americans going to rebuild the country from scratch in its own image?
Other? |
Are you unaware of the oil legislation being forced upon the Iraqi legislature? It is one of their specific benchmarks set by Bush, and I believe the "surge" has been merely to buy additional time to get that legislation passed.
